Hello everyone,

 

Today, out of the blue, I suddenly encountered this extremely strange problem. Nearly every YouTube video won't play anymore. I click on the video, and the window just remains black, not even a spinning circle indicating that it's loading. I can click every button on the page, for instance change the video resolution, full screen button, (dis)like button, I can even post replies. But the play button isn't clickable and the video just won't play. For some reason however, a little amount of videos will actually play just fine without hiccups. The other 75%, don't do anything at all. I tried Internet Explorer, Firefox, rebooting my PC, doing a virus scan with MSE, doing a registry clean with RegClean Pro, deleting Adobe Flash and downloading and installing the newest version. Even tried reinstalling the video driver. It's not my internet, because it's as quick as always. On my Galaxy S3, all videos play fine too. Every single game including FSX work perfectly fine, no crashes, overclock is perfectly stable too. It's just the YouTube videos that won't play anymore since today. I don't understand why, because litterally nothing has changed, any help would be appreciated.

Disregard, it seems to have fixed itself for some reason, I didn't change anything. It was probably just a temporary YouTube error that perhaps only occured in my region, I dunno. Anyway, it works again.

Hi Arjen,

 

I had the same plague, but thats not win7. In my case it was dumb firefox. I could open ~ 1/3 of all YT videos. I did search high and low for solution. Ended up in... chrome!
